If you're going to spend All Hallows Eve snacking on a stash of candy staples while doling out goodies to trick or treaters, going red is probably the best option; the bigger and juicier the better. At just under twenty bucks, the decadent Mitolo Jester Shiraz from Australia is a perfect foil for the feast of Samhain.
Report AbuseWine with chocolate or other Halloween sweets sounds like one of the worst ideas known to mankind. Sure, there's a time and place for wine, but I think a good, concentrated sweet binge needs nothing more than a glass of water to wash out the residue so that you can enjoy the next piece of candy afresh. Sweet food and sweet or alcoholic drinks are a recipe for sugar overload and inability to actually TASTE what you're eating.
Oh yes, that common knowledge about Halloween being about a license to binge--that's not even close to the reason I enjoy it, and I've been all grown up for about a quarter century now. It is the colorful costumes, the license to be weird in public, the license to let social inhibitions down a bit. Such license is never given on Christmas, when you have to act your best to maintain the "spirit of the season." It is usually Christmastime that induces me to overeat, while Halloween induces me to try on new hats and gaudy shirts.
